It is an experience that generates great business connections and opportunities.

Moreover, more than 100 content sessions are scheduled during the exhibition exploring sustainable futures, next-gen bio, manufacturing 5.0, future of pharma, and innovations in ingredients & packaging.

The 35th anniversary

For 35 years, CPHI has been a platform for pharma innovation and global networking. Each year, the pharma community collaborates at CPHI to drive advancements that improve human health and strengthen the global supply chain. To celebrate this milestone, CPHI Milan is highlighting 35 groundbreak¬ing Champions who have transformed the pharma industry, starting from the 1796 Smallpox vaccinations to today’s dis¬coveries. Visitors can take the walk of pharma to discover all 35 at Fiera Milano.

CPHI Celebration

CPHI Celebration is an exciting new addition to CPHI Milan. It is extremely important to connect with colleagues, partners and peers from around the globe, and CPHI Celebration is an opportunity to network, relax and celebrate being back at the heart of pharma. CPHI Celebration is an exclusive evening of top-level networking, drinks and canapés, set against a backdrop of innovation as the 2024 CPHI Pharma Awards winners will be announced. The curated guest list of exhibitors and nominees brings together the brightest minds in the community to make powerful connections in a relaxed environment.

CPHI Celebration includes the annual Pharma Awards ceremony, recognising the teams, individuals and companies whose prod¬ucts and solutions enable purposeful change within our industry.

A responsible event

Strategic partnerships and collaborative working practices drive success in three key areas of sustainability. CPHI Milan aims to work with suppliers whose values align with its own. Everything from the supply chain needs to meet sustainability criteria: the event is powered by 100% renewable electricity; a better stands programme reduces single-use exhibitor stands; single-use plastic is continuously reduced across the event. As part of CPHI Milan’s commitment to positively impact the host city, the organization supports local businesses and empowers local communities. The aim is to eliminate barriers and build bridges with companies and communities on the fringe of the pharma industry. Sustainable travel choices are encouraged around the event through clear communications with exhibitors and visitors. Partnering with regional organisations boosts the local economy.

Through the CPHI community, purposeful partnerships and meaningful content, CPHI Milan provides guidelines to help all stakeholders put sustainability at the heart of their business. In order to do this, a diverse array of voices is amplified through forums and events. The partnership with pharma industry leaders drives change for a more sustainable future across this industry. The Innovation Gallery and the Start-up Hub showcase the latest trends and innovations of tomorrow. Initiatives and achievements will be celebrated with the Sustainability Award.
